The issue with C++ complexity is that the standard development model is dysfunctional. They aren’t able to bring concepts like “a file” into the standard because one standards body member maintains a compiler in some baroque ancient environ

It’s a self fulfilling prophecy. You can see these exact same market dynamics at work in the mobile telco industry. Newer online only upstarts able to save on costs because they don’t operate a retail store you can visit to get help resetti

"Private credit" is a finance term of art. It could be misleading if you don't have context for the correct definition, but that's true of many posts on this site.

There were/are DRAM futures markets based on this hypothesis, historically they never worked very well because DRAM prices (at least for the same size/speed) have moved downwards so consistently over decades. That is until <6 m

Originally OLED TVs used different sized subpixels for different colors as part of their wear management. Red wears out the fastest so it would have the largest subpixel.

I've worked with a lot of junior devs/graduates on a large F# project, in that context hiring/onboarding for F# hasn't at all been a limiting factor. Ultimately F# is not a particularly difficult language to learn.

My biggest complaint would be a tendency to blindly use a "Microsoft first" approach to selecting tech rather than evaluating things on their own merits in the context of their own use cases. Some Microsoft stuff is really good bu

Betting platforms specifically work to identify customers who act in such ways and ban them from the platform. Developing accurate odds costs money, it's cheaper to just identify "advantage bettors" and ban them.
